AB A  sign  is  a  mark  carrying  a  conventional  meaning  and  used  in  place  of  words  to  convey  a  complex  notion.  In  medicine,  a  sign  is  an  objective  evidence  of  disease  specially  observed  and  interpreted  by  a  physician.  Multiple  signs  are  described  in  the  radiology  literature.  The  recognition  of  these  signs  allows  the  radiologist  and  the  clinician  to  make  a  specific  diagnosis  or  give  a  brief  differential  diagnosis.  We  have  compiled  a  collage  of  easily  recognizable  signs  in  musculoskeletal  radiology.  Familiarity  with  these  signs  can  direct  the  radiologist  toward  an  accurate  diagnosis,  timely  intervention,  and  astute  management.  These  signs  are  illustrated  with  radiographs  to  help  elucidate  direct  or  indirect  evidence  of  the  pathology  and  mechanism  of  injury.  Findings  are  best  appreciated  on  different  imaging  modalities;  for  example,  an  axial  computed  tomography  (CT)  image  of  the  spine  will  confirm  spondylolisthesis  suspected  on  a  radiograph.
